Orrrr, another factor is when a bunch of people start feeding off each
others complaints, the volume slowly growing in a feedback loop. As with any
feeback loop, the volume doesn't grow because of more imput, say from more
and more people complaining, but from the reprocessed and reprocessed
complaints of a few. Once the signal gets going it seems obvious that there
is a problem, because obviously the volume is growing, when the real problem
is the retention and rehashing of of the same information.
